This month, I’ve picked a theme of roses. Granted, it’s not the main season for roses, that would be April, in California. They are still nice here in Prescott. I like this challenge, even though I’m doing others, I’ll try not to intermingle them so much so you won’t have to plow through stories to see the flowers.

- Buds
- Multiple flowers

Even Roses Undergo Surgery
The Master Gardeners in Woodlake have led the way to educate the Kiwanians and others who have joined up to learn how to perform rose surgery. Master Gardener and Kiwanian, Laura Manser led the charge and has now taught hundreds how to properly care for the roses in Woodlake Rose Garden.

Spring starts to bring hope right away, and the roses that had the most surgery come back smelling like a rose.
Have a great Tuesday.

Roses do require pruning, Marsha. We have a lot of roses in our garden and my father turns them into sticks during the winter. It does work though.

That’s exactly right! Otherwise they get spindly and who knows what else.

I would love roses, but the deer love them and we have quite a few of them who help themselves to my plants already

Hi Kirstin, deer do live people who grow roses for them. LOL I did not get WQWWC out this week. I’m in the hospital with some pesky blood clots.

I read that thinking you had yours but now I see not so. I would have learned to prune our Sacramento roses from a master gardener!
